Culture boil: Recurrent and persistent boils may indicate that you have a problem with a resistant strain of bacteria. Your prescribing Dr should be notified and they may choose to do a culture on the current boils to determine a more specific antibiotic treatment. Certain individuals may also have an immune deficiency or genetic predisposition to recurrent boils. Talk to your Dr.
